Bad news, Rangers fans. The strippers at Vivid Cabaret in New York are officially on the bandwagon. Supposedly a group of them will be making the trip to Pittsburgh to cheer on the Blueshirts in person when they battle the Penguins tomorrow night in Game 7. So you’re basically screwed. You see, the girls of Rick’s Cabaret […]

Seriously, what is the deal with NHL players squirting water at each other this postseason? It’s like they’re all a bunch of 12-year-olds who just discovered their water bottles can double as water guns. First it was Corey Perry squirting water in Jeff Carter’s glove. Then it was Shawn Thornton squirting P.K. Subban from the […]

That’s New York Rangers forward Martin St. Louis in the locker room after Game 6 against the Penguins last night. He’s holding the “Broadway Hat,” the team’s official Player of the Game trophy, which he won because he scored the first goal of the game…on Mother’s Day…just three days after his own mother suddenly passed away. Sometimes […]

One of the best things about the Stanley Cup Playoffs is sudden death overtime. A team’s fate can change in a heartbeat, and you just never know who might prove to be a hero. That was certainly the case for the Bruins last night in Montreal. Trailing the Canadiens 2-1 in their second round series, […]

Remember last week, when we told you how a sexy Minnesota Wild fan named Alyssa Nelson had become the team’s good luck charm and a minor celebrity on the internet? Well apparently Alyssa didn’t like how Los Angeles Clippers fan Rebecca Grant stole the hot-chick-being-hot-at-a-sporting-event spotlight away from her. So last night she one-upped the Clippers […]

When two pro sports teams play their home games thirty miles away from each other, that’s a recipe for an intense rivalry. And when they meet in the playoffs, that’s a recipe for fan brawls. Last night all these ingredients came together in Anaheim, where the Ducks lost Game 2 of their second round playoff […]

When is comes to producing points, Anaheim forward Corey Perry has been whisper quiet so far in the Ducks’ second round series against the Kings. The guy recorded 43 goals and 39 assists in the regular season, but in the first two games against L.A.—both home losses—he’s got zero and zero. However, Perry hasn’t been […]

If you love the drama of a Game 7, man, this is your week. On Wednesday there were three Game 7s in the Stanley Cup Playoffs: Rangers-Flyers, Wild-Avalanche, and Kings-Sharks. That was awesome, but it wasn’t quite uncharted territory for the NHL. There were also three Game 7s on the same day in 2003, 1997, […]

Last night in Boston, Round 2 of the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs picked up right where Round 1 left off—with another overtime thriller. It was the 15th time so far this year a playoff game was decided by a sudden death goal, and while this has probably caused a lot of heartburn and lost sleep […]

Last night, the Montreal Canadiens snatched home-ice advantage away from the heavily favored Boston Bruins with a thrilling double-overtime 4-3 victory. The hero of the game? Well, netminder Carey Price certainly did his part, stopping 48 of the 51 shots he faced. But the bigger hero was defenseman P.K. Subban, who scored 50% of the […]

Last night in Stanley Cup playoff action there were three Game 7s, and one of them is probably going to go down as an all-time classic. The Rangers beat the Flyers 2-1 in New York in the kind of close game that makes your heart beat out of you chest. Meanwhile, in San Jose, the Kings beat the […]

I have to admit I’m a little bit torn when it comes to this Minnesota-Colorado series. Part of me wants to see the Avalanche win because Patrick Roy is a raging egomaniac who could explode at any moment and tear the head off an opponent, a referee, a fan, or possibly even one of his […]

I don’t know exactly how much it costs to sit right up against the glass at a Red Wings playoff game, but I know it’s definitely north of $100, which is a good chunk of change. Obviously, though, it’s worth every penny to get right up on the ice, inches away from the action where […]

If you’ve seen Jimmy Fallon do his late night talk show thing more than once, then chances are you’ve seen his “superlatives” bit in which he takes photos of people and gives them high school yearbook “most likely” classifications. Sometimes they do the bit with people currently in the news, but most of the time […]

The 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs are just one day and three games old, but we’ve already seen two guys get hit in the head by a puck. It’s gonna be a long two months, I guess. The first was Montreal’s Brendan Gallagher. In the second period of the Canadiens’ game against the Lightning, after taking […]
